Actually, I was thinking of

http://www.f-prot.com/f-prot/products/fplin.html

We use the small business version in conjunction with the milter version 
amavis and it works very well.  Updates are frequent and it has not crashed 
or anything.

BUT, someone just pointed out, they now have a native FreeBSD version now!

One thing I would recommend if you are scanning customer email (no matter 
which product you implement), dont rely on just one mail server.  There are 
a number of ways to DoS these things deliberately and by accident... or at 
least REALLY slow them down.  Using the milter version with sendmail its 
quite easy to build redundant servers that will mitigate this at least.
